First of all, sorry for my english.

I bought brand new console 2 weeks ago. Glitched it, flashed it and the xbox worked fine, played lots of games on it. Everything worked perfectly. Yesterday console started with artifacts on screen (image below). I cant boot to dashboard, however i can boot to XELL, but when I plug in USB stick with xenon.elf and nandflash.bin, xell switches the resolution (or VGA mode i dont know) and I see same artifacts again.

here is an image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15369988/DSC_0894.JPG

I tried to desolder coolrunner, flashed stock nand back but same problem again. None of the soldering points seems to be damaged. Its not my first slim console I glitched successfully over 10 slims. I think it was just bad luck and something like HANA, GPU or gpu memory is gone. So what can i do now? Can I send xbox to MS - after warranty support or something like that ?

Your warranty is voided. Try flashing back orig NAND and see if the problems still persist.

Microsoft will not accept it if the warranty sticker is off. The entire point of a warranty is that it was the company fault your product broke so they fix it for you for free.

Just for the info, if you send it MicroShaft with ANY signs of modding or a sticker lifted, they will send it back to you with at least "Christmas Lights" error or a bad nand. Just give it someone that know how to fix it if you can't figure it out.

This is my experience, I gotten 3 of them form people with this problem, they have sent them to MS and they came back this way with "Christmas Lights Error" It's not BS. I'm here to help and not give out BS, it does happen.

Bullshit. They just charge you 130 NZD and done... Ive sent an xbox that had 1cm wide holes at the back where some idiot tried to open it... Payed cash, received box...

Thats exactly what I m courious about.

Will they repair my console without warranty stickers and with signs of opening if I will pay them (130USD) or microsoft will not accept it if the warranty sticker is off?

It seems to be a serious problem, like damaged GPU/memory so the repair in some local service going to be expensive or impossible.

Its a brand new console with flashed drive so its worth for me to pay 130 bucks to MS.
